Yeah that wouldnt fly for me right now. They've just made a bunch of folks redundant. Fire me if they dare but they are so short staffed on people who are prepared to put up with their bullshit I dont think they'll try.
Out of 20 people across 2 teams, there are 16 on contracts that expire mid next year. There is heaps of work to do and we need bodies.
No extensions have been discussed (apparently will start in January). I know of 4 that are actively looking, 3 that have offers, and another 5 that are starting to look in the New Year.
The middles managers know this and are doing what they can to retain staff, but the execs are ignoring shit and giving boilerplate answers that say nothing.
Meanwhile all these staff are needed to achieve the goals that are being hammered into us on the daily.
On my mates at work was thinking of recording one of the directors talking and replaying it with the Benny Hill music in the background.
gold!
